This comes after the Warriors fail to score after two offensive rebounds out of the timeout. Memphis scores three more unanswered baskets, all assisted by Conley. He already has six assists, topping his career average of 5.4. The crowd soon starts booing loudly and the Warriors, down 21-4, call another timeout.

5:31 – Monta Ellis drains a 3-pointer, which sends the crowd cheering excitedly. Stephen Curry makes a long jumper on the team’s next possession, his first basket of the game as he comes of the bench.

3:06 – Marc Gasol swings a beautiful bounce pass down low to Dante Cunningham, who draws a foul on an out-of-position Lee. He makes both free throws, stopping a 10-4 run that had made the score 25-14. Stephen Curry drills a long jumper, but seconds later, Cunningham turns a full court pass into a quick layup.

1:55 – Nate Robinson enters the game and immediately hits a jumper.

The gain is somewhat negated by his dribbling off his foot on the next possession to incur a backcourt violation. Robinson comes back to make a 3-pointer, pulling the Warriors within 29-23. Basically, Nate Robinson — who scored five points in 70 seconds, has made this into a game.

0:00 – Monta Ellis crosses over his helpless defender and hop-steps to the basket. His shot rolls out and he tips the ball in himself. The crowd’s cheers are for naught; the ref rules that it came after the buzzer. Grizzlies end the quarter up 33-23.

SECOND QUARTER

9:22 – Stephen Curry is back. He releases, falls backward onto the Oracle Arena court, and swishes three to pull Golden State within 35-33.

He had made a long jumper one possession earlier, after which Ekpe Udoh stuffed Quincy Pondexter. Returning from foot injury, Curry is absolutely on right now.

8:50 – Nate Robinson’s 3 is way off, but Brandon Rush hangs in the air for about two seconds to tip in the layup. That’s about as close as human beings come to unassisted flight.

7:48 – Tony Allen swings the ball to a wide open Pondexter for the three. No one was within even eight feet of Pondexter, a microcosm of how depressing it can be to watch the Warriors play defense. Memphis, 38-36, but still trading buckets.

6:16 – Curry feeds Ellis from the 3-point line for a vicious fast break alley-oop.

The crowd is on its feet as the Warriors take the lead for the first time tonight, 42-40. Memphis calls timeout. Grizz are missing Zach Randolph and Darrell Arthur, while the Warriors are an entirely different team with Curry on the floor. The sharpshooter had missed four straight games and played only nine minutes in his last outing.

4:27 – Marc Gasol puts his head down and bowls into the lane, getting hit with the offensive foul. Memphis is shaky right now.

3:01 – Something you don’t see often: Ekpe Udoh going one-on-one and finessing Rudy Gay for a good look. He misses, but grabs the rebound and draws the foul. Free throws good for a 47-44 lead, and the Warriors are in the bonus.

1:01 – Memphis retakes the lead as Ellis turns the ball over. Curry is the only defender left; Conley and Mayo streak down the court, with the latter making the layup. 52-51, Grizz.

0:12 – Jaws music plays. Because Jaws is … crunch time? There’s a timeout, and free pizza is passed out. Crowd shot of a Bert and Ernie costume. Looked like one man wearing a costume of both Sesame Street characters stuck together.
